The New York Giants wore logos on their helmets commemorating the victims of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. when they faced the Atlanta Falcons Sunday afternoon, but one player added an even more personal touch.

Wide receiver Victor Cruz learned Saturday that one of the 20 children killed in the tragedy, six-year-old Jack Pinto, was a huge Giants fan and that Cruz was his favorite player. Cruz called Pinto's family to offer his support and Sunday morning he dedicated the upcoming game to the young boy.
